A shooting on Monday night sent three people to Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital, Miami police said.

Around 10 p.m., a ShotSpotter alert brought officers to Northwest Eighth Street in Overtown where someone had fired into an “occupied dwelling,” police said.

Down at Northwest Eighth Street and Fifth Avenue, they found the three gun violence victims. Tuesday morning, boards covered the corner liquor store and a window on the apartment.

There’s no update on the victims’ conditions.

This is a developing story will be updated.
